Meet the Bookworms - Tim Hoy

How you help at the bookshop

I lift heavy boxes, move things around, buy and donate lots of books, curate the photography section and encourage people to shop there.

Favourite Author (and why!)

Benjamin Zephaniah. I love the work of so many poets, but he's top of the pile.

Favourite Book (and why!)

Creating Freedom by Raoul Martinez. I'd wanted to write a book with a working title of "It's all conected" and then Raoul did a much better job than I could have done.

Something you've been reading recently that you'd recommend

Attila the Stockbroker - Arguments Yard. An autobiographical account of a fine musician and poet.

Your pick of a book that's currently in store or online

High Fidelity by Nick Hornby. Another great writer and a book that's always worth another read again.
